Not 100% true. It works on all my session that have screens locked. They don't work when the session is detached, which happens when you lock the screen by default.


Right.

We have hacked this so it does not detach upon screen lock and x11vnc is working fine.


Presumably you also hacked it so that it doesn't
automatically lock on an idle timer, since that
can also occur while a session is detached.

Which kind of raises the question of "what's the
point of running a screen locker at all?", since
you can only allow it to lock the screen while the
session is connected, and can never disconnect a
locked session, or it's inaccessible via VNC.

Maybe if you never detach sessions this works well,
but I think that's a very atypical use.  Do your
users care about mobility?  Have they learned to reset
a Sun Ray that has a locked NSCM session on it,
so they can use the Sun Ray themselves?  Our IT
seems to think this is too much to ask of our users, so
the default is to detach sessions when not in use.
